The harmonious coloring problem is NP-complete for interval and permutation graphs
In this paper, we prove that the harmonious coloring problem is NP-complete for connected interval and permutation graphs. Given a simple graph G, a harmonious coloring of G is a ...

Forbidden Subgraph Colorings and the Oriented Chromatic Number
: We present an improved upper bound of O(d1+ 1 m−1 ) for the (2, F)-subgraph chromatic number χ2,F (G) of any graph G of maximum degree d. Here, m denotes the minimum number of...

Vertex Cover in Graphs with Locally Few Colors
In [13], Erd˝os et al. defined the local chromatic number of a graph as the minimum number of colors that must appear within distance 1 of a vertex. For any ∆ ≥ 2, there are ...

Orthogonal Colorings of Graphs
An orthogonal coloring of a graph G is a pair {c1, c2} of proper colorings of G, having the property that if two vertices are colored with the same color in c1, then they must hav...

NP by Means of Lifts and Shadows
We show that every NP problem is polynomially equivalent to a simple combinatorial problem: the membership problem for a special class of digraphs. These classes are defined by me...
